China Travel Wonders for the Entire FamilyChina travel is not only about temples and imperial palaces, Peking Opera and Buddhas... Your China Family Adventure is about climbing watchtowers... exploring narrow alleyways... flying kites... coming face to face with giant Pandas... cruising rivers on bamboo rafts... and so much more! Click on the arrow to take a peek!
China is on everybody's mind. As hosts to the 2008 Summer Olympic
Games, China's role as an economically dynamic and politically controversial nation is visible
everywhere. China is emerging as a leading tourist destination. People want to find out what the
fuss is all about...
With the Children?...China is not regarded as your typical destination for a family vacation with small children. People will tell you it's too crowded, too polluted, all that sightseeing, culture and history will bore the daylights out of them...Well yes, it will be crowded and the air quality is a real problem, but with a little planning and an open mind, a China travel experience can be such an eye opener, an exploration journey and fabulous adventure for the family!
Ours started when my parents, who are originally from South China, were keen on visiting their
homeland and wanted to bring the grandkids along...
A trip to the Past...Planning a trip to China with children takes on a different meaning. It has to be beyond
the rich culture and beautiful scenery. It's about making more than five thousand
years of history come alive... about exploring those ancient walls... by bicycle,
about cruising the waters traveled by emperors long ago... on a dragon boat, about flying
kites... in the world's largest square... How else could we keep Christopher, 8, and
cousin Jonathan, 10, engaged, involved, entertained and out of trouble?...
A Look Into the Future....But your China travel experience isn't just history and the past, it's also about the future, about the impressive transformation this land of contrasts is going through... about the progress and the serious challenges. We rode the fastest train in the world... at 433 km/hr it took all but 5 minutes to get to the airport in Shanghai. And cruising through the largest hydro development project ever built at the Three Gorges Dam was like a ride out of Starship Enterprise... truly amazing.
We wanted our kids to have a better appreciation for their roots and most of all, to learn to value all that we have at home and that we so often and easily take for granted. We did accomplish that and more. We are here to share experiences from our family travels in China and help you on your way to planning your own China Family Adventure!
